Relative acoustic gas thermometry setup is described. Described setup was developed and tested in VNIIFTRI. The setup is designed for the measurement of thermodynamic temperature in low temperature range down to 4,2 K. Main part of the setup is resonator with reduced cavity diameter. Reduction of resonator dimension lead to several times reduction of cooled parts of the setup with respect to the setup previously developed in VNIIFTRI. This decreases liquid nitrogen and liquid helium consumption required for cooling of resonator. Moreover, reduction of the mass of cooling parts reduces time required for temperature stabilization and thus measurement time. In the work the tests’ results of operation of main parts of the setup are presented.

The article presents the results of studies to improve the National primary standard machine for hardness of metals on the shore D scale GET 161-2001, which were performed in FSUE “VNIIFTRI” from 2016 to 2018 in accordance with the technical task of Rosstandart.The improvement was carried out in order to ensure the uniformity of hardness measurements on the Leeb scales. The created new parts of the primary standard machine, which are settings for reproducing hardness numbers on the Leeb scales, are considered. Metrological characteristics of the upgraded and adopted National primary standard machine (GET 161-2019) were investigated, the budget of measurement uncertainty was calculated for reproducing hardness numbers on the Leeb scales.
